Instructions

Step 1: Remove Spam (1 can, 12 oz) from the can and slice into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and fry Spam slices for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and crispy on the edges; then remove and set aside.
Step 2: In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil and sauté minced garlic (2 cloves) for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add pineapple chunks (1 cup) and cook for 3-4 minutes until caramelized and slightly browned.
Step 3: Return the fried Spam to the skillet, drizzle 2 tbsp soy sauce, sprinkle 1/4 tsp black pepper, and toss with pineapple for 1 minute until heated through and coated.
Step 4: To serve, divide 3 cups cooked jasmine rice evenly into bowls, top with the Spam and pineapple mixture, garnish with sliced green onions (2 stalks) and 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds.
